Ned Duncan, strolling along quiet, palm-bordered Marvin street, in the cool dusk, made himself smile at the elf that dragged on his longfinehands, but he turned back before they reached the corner on which was the rented cottage of Cecilia Reeves, the woman he loved. Cecilia, a young milliner who took four college-girl roomers to help out on her income, bent her yellow head lower over her heliotrope bed as she caught sight of his retreat. She had meant to give them some flowers when they passed. She knew he loved the heliotrope. Had she offended him? she wondered. While she puzzled, with a hurt heart, Driscoll was saying to himself: "I must keep awayI must not see her any more. The woman I marry must love my childshe must' love my little Babs!" In the fourth year of Barbara's life with him,...

A reporter for the federal depart ment of agriculture declares that Kan sas, with 11.184,000 acres has 22.8 per cent of all the winter wheat area of the United States. A full crop on this enormous acre age, which is 13 per cent larger than the record acreage of last year, would total 200,000,000 bushels, or more than one-third of the 509.304,000, bushels for the average annual consumption in the United States, the report says. Such a production, with a guaran teed price of $2 a bushel, would bring Kansas $400,000,000. The December report stated that the average condi tion is 98 per cent. "Not only Is this the largest acre age of wheat ever sown In a single state, but it is probably the largest acreage ever devoted to a single grain crop of any state," says the report. "The Texas cotton crop is possibly the only state crop that ever excelled It in area." A campaign for mobilizing a great army to harvest the 1919 crop is be ing worked out by the Kansas City office of the director gene...

Li JI N TflElJirpjeiiT REVOLUTION IN LUXEMBURG HOW ABOUT "LIBERTY FUEL?" Automobillsts are in a state of mind over the conflicting stories cur rent about the new "Liberty fuel" of the war department. According to the fuel administration the mixture was found.to contain about 65 per cent of benzol. Inasmuch as the supply of benzol is limited the amount of Lib erty fuel that could be produced would be only about 2 per cent of the pres ent output of gasoline. Moreover, the fuel when tested left a gummy residue, which would plug up carburetors, and revealed many other drawbacks. On the other hand, the war depart ment says that the fuel administration must have tested one of the 28 "fake** mixtures fixed up during the war to fool German spies. According to the war department, the cost of manufacture is 40 per cent lower than that of making gasoline. It is described as scentless, tasteless, and without gasification scent. Its products of combustion are cooler than gasoline. It is noncorro...

rmrT '""'""ft"r Leaping Tuna, Dolphin and Martin Swordfish Plentiful Off the California Banks Another world record In big gome fishing was shattered in the Catalina island waters when James W. Jump recently landed a 314-pound mnrlin swordfish in 28 minutes with light tackle. Not only is this unprecedent ed with light tackle, but the fish was near the Tuna club record for a sword fish on any tackle. The biggest one ever caught was In 1916, which weigh ed 362 pounds. Not in many years have the deep-sea fighters been so plentiful as recently off the famous southern California banks. Great swarms of yellow-tall nftd other light tackle prizes have been frequent.

ft-*. KJU- 5~ iiiaMi NOW FOR YOUR VICTORY GARDEN! Irvin Cobb, who is not without reputation as a writer and humorist, is still more interesting as an Ameri can. Just now he is advocating from the platform national preparedness. And he puts the case so that anybody can understand what he means. He says, for instance: "It's human nature that makes the nations, and so long as human nature exists* the land that sleeps with a loaded pistol under its pillow, In the shape of an army, and a bulldog roam /ing in the front yard, in the shape of an adequate navy, that land will be the safest from depredations. "When people speak of taking the erring brother back into the fold, I rise to proclaim that Germany is no kin of mine! And I am for a platform of Christianity that declares no food for Germany while a single Belgian or French baby remains hungry. "So long as we have a land to love, a flag to defend, never should we let our country lapse pack into its former statethat of a great, fat, ove...

HINTS FOR POULTRY GROWERS The poultry grower who has not yet adopted sprouted oats as a part of the hen's bill of fare, especially during the winter months, is not only depriv ing his hens of feed that would be rel tshed and which is most valuable in feeding for egg production, but is also overlooking one of bis best opportu nities to save on the cost of feeding. Town folks who keep only small flocks have been quicker to realise the advan tages of feeding sprouted oats than have farmers, yet the latter are the ones who should be first to understand the food value and the results that might reasonably be expected from ^-%u prouted oats, because the oats sprout- ^**r is to the poultryman what the silo is to the dairyman.* A few poultry growers operate their oats sprouters the year round, they having found sprouted oats to be an excellent feed for both laying hens and growing stock. This can be done very profitably when the chickens do not have free range, but is not neces sary with th...
